It is part of the Central Group of the Azores and has about 56,000 inhabitants. Terceira means ''third'' in Portuguese, as the island is said to have been the third to be discovered by the Portuguese. It is divided into two municipalities: [[Angra do Heroísmo]], and [[Praia da Vitória]]. It is known for a UNESCO world heritage site in Angra.

Terceira has the most important airport of the Central Group of the Azores with regular flights to mainland [[Portugal]], within the Azores, and sometimes to other destinations in [[Europe]] and [[North America]]. When coming from within the Azores, taking a ferry is possible (from Praia). See [[Azores#Useful information|useful information]] for tips on saving money when taking a ferry. Hitchhiking to Terceira is only possible by [[hitchhiking a sailboat|sailing boat]].
